[DOC] Wilton Park Conference on Business & Human Rights, Opening Remarks, John G. Ruggie (10-12 Oct 2005)

At this point, I don’t have a precise roadmap or even a fixed destination for the mandate. But in order to get the conversation started, I thought it might be useful to share with you some of the broad framing of these issues that, inevitably, I will bring along on this journey...it may make sense to begin by addressing situations in which the existing system of international human rights law has broken down entirely, or where it cannot possibly be expected to function as intended. Think of failed states, for instance, or cases in which firms aid, abet or benefit from human rights abuses by governments, their internal agents or foreign allies.
